Abstract (en)

The invention is related to an elevator comprising a hoistway (H) an elevator car (1) vertically movable in the hoistway (H); a rope (r,r') connected to the elevator car (1) movably together with the elevator car (1); guiding means (3,4;3',4') for guiding the rope (r,r') along a path; means for determining position of the elevator car (1), said means for determining position of the elevator car (1) comprising an elongated code mark pattern (5) provided on the rope (r,r'), which elongated code mark pattern (5) comprises code marks (5a) distributed along the length of the rope (r,r'); one or more sensors (6) mounted beside the rope (r, r') for sensing code marks (5a) of said code mark pattern (5); an analyzer (7) connected with the at least one sensor (6); wherein the one or more sensors (6) are arranged to sense code marks (5a) of the code mark pattern (5) passing by them when the rope (r, r') moves along its path, and said analyzer (7) is configured to determine current position of the elevator car (1) based on code marks (5a) sensed by the one or more sensors (6) during movement of the rope (r, r').
